take a punch, the one with the flat end, make a notch on your striped bolts head, then turn your punch like it was a screwdriver.
you'l have to buy a new bolt after.

good luck:blah:

Id try that, or else i have used a small needle nose vis-grip to break if feel. It worked for me, but the hard part was getting it to grip on the screw because its so small

i used a dremmel on mine and just used a flat head screw driver to take it off. you make need to cut the head off, take off the cover, and use pliers to unscrew the bolt.

take dremel or file and make a cut across the screw head so that you can use a flat head screw driver to take it out. Or get one of those craftsman tools that is designed to take out screws with stripped heads
